What I'm looking for
I am a Senior UI/UX and Visual Designer with over 8 years of experience creating user-friendly digital interfaces, design systems, and brand identities for product, e-commerce, corporate, and lifestyle brands. I have led end-to-end UI/UX projects, built component libraries and design systems, and produced global marketing visuals for clients such as NBA India, PSG, FCB, Warner Media, and Mumbai Indians.
My strengths include Figma-led product design, prototyping, UX workflows, and stakeholder collaboration across international teams.
